No Retirement Age

In the Amish community, there is not set retirement age, and each individual can decide whether or not they want to retire and when. Usually, people will retire between the ages of 50 and 70 years old. People who retire will stay at home, since there are no retirement homes in the community. They’ll usually continue to help pitching in with housework but at their own pace. This aims to keep the elderly members of the community included and avoids loneliness associated with older people outside of the community.
